Process

A mould is covered using waste newspaper strips dipped in glue. They are circularly layered over each other until the desired thickness is obtained. Once done, they are left to dry. On drying a layer of block printed newspapers is applied and for final finishing, a coat of varnish is used to make it water-resistant.

** Please note that these bowls are made by hand and may have varied texture and finish. These are suitable for only dry items.
